Tony,
19 front(biggest that will fit, I think) and 40 rear(not sure if anyone makes one smaller) will give you appx 4000rpm's at appx 110kph. Fuel mileage makes more of a differance depending on how hard you twist your wrist. This is the setup I have on mine('02 1200) and average appx 36-38 mpg(US) 2-up loaded and appx 40-42 mpg(US) solo. That's appx 60% highway, 40% backroad. Best I've gotten is appx 46 mpg(US) solo, 90% highway, speeds under 70 mph for 800 miles.
